Hands down the best time I've had at the movies all year. It is a fucking blast!

Basically The Goonies with a demonic killer clown.

The kid from Stranger Things steals the entire movie. His one liners were absolute gold. My sides were acing. He says this one line after the rock fight and I was crying real tears.

All of the kids were exceptional. Every single kid knocks it out of the park. Everyone has their own distinct personalities, characteristics, quips, and quirks. The chemistry between the group was outstanding. There's so much great banter among one another I haven't seen this type of group comradery between kids since The Goonies and Stand Bye Me. Mind you, those movies…

JUST earns 4 stars, because what it gets right, it REALLY gets right. does for horror what super 8 did for sci fi. i'm still trying to figure out exactly where i stand, and it might be too early to tell, but this feels like something special (or even just on the brink of it)

Pitch-Black danger; the first "'New Line Cinema' in spirit" horror joint. Successfully embodies the commitment to shockers of the 80s while ignoring, but not condemning, the ever-present faux-tactility of the 90s and their rebellion to a growing canon of Horror movie-making. Hiring Chung-Hoon Chung as its cinematographer was truly a blessing. It would make for a perfect capper of a Halloween night with Jason Goes to Hell, New Nightmare, and The Mangler, and it's just brimming with aesthetic creativity entirely concerned with genre replication. It goes far and away past 'homage', severing the Spielbergian myth at its elbow with a cleaver straight out of In the Mouth of Madness. A little uneven tonally, but so is the source, and…

there was one scene where finn wolfhard's character calls the Token Dream Girl "molly ringwald" after she says something cheesy and it's so comforting to know that even in a fictional maine town where a killer clown is literally eating children alive, miss molly kathleen ringwald remains the icon of the 80s

Think of It as an R-rated Monster Squad, but instead of a group of monsters chasing kids, we have one Big Bad Wolf playing all the devilish parts by himself, and trust me, this fella is one badass motherfucker with a laugh and dance that would scare the rigamortis out of the dead.

Pure evil. Your worst nightmare. A coming-of-age story. Summer fun. Summer love. Summer scare. Forever friendship. These are just some of the many themes of It. Derry, Maine is a creepy little fuckin’ town. Our movie is set in the late 80s, but like a lot of small towns, the area appears older. If it wasn’t for the NKOTB poster, Eddie’s Airwolf t-shirt and the busting out…

While it indulges in some horror cliches I typically dislike, the characters and their camaraderie save it along with some solid writing, a great antagonist, and a well constructed atmosphere. Wasn't scared by any of it though. It's more of a "fun" horror movie than a true horror movie.

A bit far-fetched in my humble opinion, even though the clown's design is great everything seems prefabricated as if specifications should be met. No emotions, least of all fear, which for a movie on the subject seems counter intuitive.
